    I fill up around 3/4 empty. 1/4 left in tank.

    Fastsize sells like NO other! Think of a big industry name, they probably upsell us!

      Once the red light comes on, I know I have 40 miles to go.

                  During the summer, never below 1/4 of a tank. During the winter never below 1/2 a tank. I don't know why since we don't have bad winters here, but I'm ready if we do

                    1/4 tank

                    To me the more interesting question would be..

                    do you fill your tank all the way when you get gas or do you just put in $5 or $10 or $20 worth?

                        I wait until the gas light goes on, and then I drive about 20 miles. Then I fill it up.
                        ...

                          Always have filled it all the way - well, except for when I was in college when I was known to put in a $1 in change into it.

                                        when I am driving..maybe a 1/4 tank.. hubby uses it more and likes to leave it on below empty..takes about $50 to fill it.. we spend about $300 a month on gas... I hate it. Snowboard season kills us.. we spend about $600 a month then..

                                          1/4 tank is the lowest I go. Any lower, and you're simply shortening your fuel pump's lifespan (dirt particles at the bottom, etc).

                                            I always keep it over half-full, unless I'm on a long drive and I don't feel like stopping to fill it up.

                                              It feels like my tank is always on empty. My wife gets so pissed at me when she takes my car... she is always running late and hates having to stop to get gas in my car.

                                                      on some road trip out of town)

                                                      you should always use as much gas
                                                      without going to low, to use the "old"
                                                      gas first. better for the engine.

                                                          My Bmw tells me exactly how many miles left...
                                                          turns out once it gets to about 7 miles, it's on reserve, and stays there for a while

                                                          So you can see how empty i let it run

                                                            I've heard that driving to near empty is more likely to push gunk sitting at the bottom of your tank into the fuel filter... maybe that's just a myth though?

                                                            My car reminds me when there's 80km, 60km, 40km, 20km left. It's supposed to anyway, the other day I noticed the fuel light was on, checked it manually and I was down to 24km left! Had to turn off the a/c and ease off the pedal a little to make it to the next station.

                                                              When I drive never lower then half, when my husband uses it more...almost to empty...
                                                              My Ex-husband SKULL-BUITRE ran off to Colombia with OUR money and screwed me after I helped him build OUR business.
                                                              He is hiding in Colombia and never paid the settlement $ from our divorce!
